Hey Todd,

I'll qualify this first saying that I don't know what I am talking about
with propane, but there are dual tanks on my van fitted by a PO. They are
both basicallyT'ed off into one line and a large pressure gauge fitted in
line before they are routed to the stove, fridge and a small heater. So
without fill gauges (which have been discussed a lot in the archives) I fill
both tanks, and use them one at a time. Once the first one is empty I know
that I have still got a week or so of camping on average before I need to
find a fill station.

Not saying its the correct way to go, but it has worked pretty well for me
so far...
